MEDINAH, Ill. – While Justin Thomas has sucked any lingering drama out of the top of the leaderboard at the BMW Championship, there’s still plenty of intrigue heading into the finale at Medinah as players jockey for positions and places in the season’s last event.

Only 30 players will advance to next week’s Tour Championship, and while Thomas appears poised to start East Lake at 10 under as he carries a six-shot lead into the final round, many others are simply trying to earn a flight to Atlanta. The bubble boys range from rookies to seasoned veterans, all looking for one more good round to reach the capstone of a marathon season.
